As we know aCon machine got updated before this 2009 issue (nature energy), so the ATM both from Philately Service and Post Offices have the same fonts. But if we look the details, they have the different alignment of face value and serial number.

On issue from Philately Service, it is not alignment between face value and serial number.

But on issue from post offices, face value and serial number have the alignment to right.

Another difference is last 'character' of serial number. Before the update, all the ATM (what ever from philately service or post office) 's serial number runs 0, 1, 2...9, A, B, C, D, ...Y, Z of last 'character' of serial number, but now it runs 1, 2, 3, ...9, A from philately serive, still runs 0,1,2,..Z from post office by my collecting. If you have deviations, let me know please.

Here is is 'First Anniversary of the Cross-strait Direct Mail Service Commemorative Postage Label Folio'. This is the first ATM foler was issued by Taiwan GPO named CHUNGHWA POST CO.,LTD. Ohter pasted (or comming) ATM folder were issued by local post office for stamp fair.

The folder include two complete ATM, pink and black print, total face value is NTD 256$, and enclosed one specimen(rose red print). But official price is NTD 450$, too expensive.

The folder were available on many post offices on the issue day(15th Dec.), but now sounds like is out of order.

On the bottom left, the s/n number is 5 digital on specimen, while 2 letter + 4 digital on common issue.
